Tour of Slovenia 2022, June 15 -19

Imagine Pogacar tests positive for Covid at the TdF…

Pogi wants to win eight TdFs in a row, to be better than Lance Armstrong, who won them seven times in a row, which is record.

If Covid hits Pogacar in France, this project could be endangered…

Sorry to inform you but the official TDF record wins is 5 so I don't think Pogačar really cares about winning 8 times.

Anyway, leaving that aside I hope that he drops the wattbomb either today or tomorrow.

Todays stage:

They're starting the big Svetina climb at any moment now.

 

[Lequack]

Rain is coming! That means Pog attack is incoming.

 

[Lequack]

Rui Olivera of UAE crashed.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

But Paul Double is still in the mix, can you believe it, the one and only Winchester Whirlwind!!!

 

[Lequack]

Pog attacks!

 

[Red Rick]

Looks like Mohoric can close this on the descent

 

[Samamba]

This is going to be so close for GC!!!

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Maijka slowing Pog down

 

[ppanther92]

This is going to be so close for GC!!!

Majka will take it by the grace of Pogacar

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Conci!

 

[KZD]

Conci descending better than Mohorič

Pogačar might be 'forced 'to win the stage this way.

 

[ppanther92]

Poor Pog was really forced to take it...

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Mezgec 4th in a hilly stages?

Mezgec 4th in a hilly stages?

Tour of Slowenia

 

[JosefK]

A casual Pogastomp confirmed.

 

[Samamba]

Says a lot about the level of this race that Mezgec gets in 4th. Bit of a meme race.

Says a lot about the level of this race that Mezgec gets in 4th. Bit of a meme race.

It says more about the performance of BEX's GC riders - Mezgec could have finished closer if he did not waste time waiting for Hamilton. Mezgec has been in good form all season and he does raise a level for Slovenia.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

They might as well organise a cyclosportive with Pogacar and Majka as the special guests, wouldn't change the 'racing' much.

 

[Lequack]

Conci was really strong in the end, at some point even looked like Pog couldn't get gid of him. But a great performance from Pog in the end, even Majka to hold on to 2nd. He will be a great asset for Pog in the Tour.

Perfect domestique work by Pogacar. Diesel tempo on Svetina that dropped everybody except his leader. Also paced the tricky descent and waited for his leader a bit at the end of it. Rafał was grateful for this work and even let Tadej jump for a stage victory at the end knowing that tomorrow he'll regain the leader's jersey easily.
